Sassy Sisterhood

Who we are:Sassy Sisterhood is a community of messy, beautiful, crazy, fearless, terrified, women who laugh, cry, drink wine (just because), over~share, hug, and tell inappropriate stories. All in the name of ... oh screw it... All to just survive!!!!!

Why:To put it bluntly, we are women and we need each other. We are different but really… we are the same. We are fierce, protective, incredible multitaskers, put-together, and sassy … but we are also broken, messy, hurting, alone, trembling with past fear, struggling with judgment and terrified if people truly saw those parts we would surely be alone, abandoned and/or unloved. We all feel it.... a longing to love God and each other the way we are “supposed” to. To feel “blissfully” fulfilled by our jobs, our friends, our body image and our families. To volunteer enough, to have an amazing career, to look put-together enough, to fit into our college sized jeans and to have intimate, real relationships with God and other women. HA...SURE all in our spare time right?!?!?! I am exhausted just writing this. So let’s do this crazy, pain in the A$$, broken, beautiful, chaotic life together, in community … let’s be honest who else better understands pap smears, chocolate addiction and finishing off a bottle of wine - just because it's Wednesday, better than another woman!?!

What we Do:Get together the first Friday of every month for wine, laughter and sassyness!

Ladies ~ We truly are just as crazy as the rest of them:

We are women. Plain and simple. Oh yes, we are different shapes, different colors, different sizes, have different jobs, are in varying stages of life, are pursuing different goals... whatever. But with each of those definitions we are also exactly the same. We struggle with body image. We have been hurt deeply and try daily to cover the scars. We are always trying a new diet or exercise routine or self help method. We are pushing ourselves to be better, prettier, more patient, more organized, in control but less judgmental, less needy, not overly emotional; because the fear that we are not enough or too much of any of these overwhelms us. And honestly we are all just hoping to find peace in the chaos of all that has become our life.

To Quote one of my fav, kick my ass, books "Captivating" by John and Stasi Eldridge: “Every woman I've ever met feels it—something deeper than just the sense of failing at what she does. An underlying, gut feeling of failing at who she is. I am not enough, and, I am too much at the same time. Not pretty enough, not thin enough, not kind enough, not gracious enough, not disciplined enough. But too emotional, too needy, too sensitive, too strong, too opinionated, too messy. After all, if we were better women— whatever that means— life wouldn't be so hard. Right? We wouldn't have so many struggles; there would be less sorrow in our hearts… We feel unseen, even by those who are closest to us.”

Ladies we are exactly who and what God created and desired for us to be. And together is where we have the freedom to experience that truth in the messiness of all that we have become. If we could do it alone, lets be honest, we just can't!
